GALLERY: New look for Bealls Outlet debuts in Bradenton

A Bealls Outlet store in Bradenton is one of the first to showcase the retailer’s new decor and layout.

The store at 3906 Manatee Ave. W., in the West Gate shopping center reopened to the public earlier this month after a brief remodeling period. Gone are the long racks of clothes typically seen in most outlet stores, said Bill Webster, spokesman for Bealls Inc., which is based in Manatee County. The longer racks have been replaced with smaller feature racks that help break up the store’s space into departments.

Color schemes and the decor has changed, too Webster said. Bealls Outlet stores will feature more white backgrounds and less red and orange themes to focus on a brighter look. More graphics have been added to the walls inside the store too.

The Ellenton outlet store is one of the first to showcase this new redesign for the company, Webster said. More are expected to roll out this year.
